There is a possible opportunity to create a LinkedIn for temporary workers such as construction workers.
I discovered the opp. after speaking to some construction staffing agencies. They told me they spend $50-$100k/year to try to fill these types of positions by posting on Craigslist, Indeed and other sites. Apparently it is a big pain point for them and in their words it is a "nightmare".
A possible solution would be a mobile linked in for these kinds of workers. Revenue would be for agencies to post jobs. Ultimately I realized I don't have as much passion about building a social network for construction workers as I do for the work I'm already doing and so I dropped it.
At the time, I got the madness about it and created a mockup of a possible solution:

@csallen Any idea why this didn't make it into the free ideas hash tag listing?
